Do not mess with any of the bbPress plugin files in the plugins folder. Remember that if you do modify anything in the core plugin files of bbPress, it will be lost next update.
Any custom CSS like the snippet I gave you, you place into your child themes CSS stylesheet or into a custom css plugin.
There’s no link to the forums setup after update.
Kleo theme support :
“1 – Do not enable group forms for buddypress. As it states, use bbpress. So, dont change anything there. Leave it the way it is.
2 – In every case I’ve seen, a plugin conflict causes a menu item to disappear. Disable all of your plugins except k-elements, visual composer, buddypress and bbpress. The forum menu item should return. If it does start enabling your plugins one by one until you find the conflicting plugin.”
Your caching plugin is still enabled though. Clear your cache and disable it. If forums doesnt come back, then temporarily enable the 2015 Theme. If its still doesnt show up, then its not Kleo and you’ll have to ask over on the bbpress forum.
Active Plugins:
bbPress, BuddyPress, K Elements, WPBakery Visual Composer.
Hi,
I’ve tried to use the forum converter and it does import the board, but it isn’t importing users. Is there something special I need to to to get the user account migrated over?
It’s giving me this error
WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'users.msn' in 'field list']
Thanks for the help.
Hi
Please help, the bbpress search widgets bring up everything but my forum topics and replies, it also seems to replicate the results many times over, some 76 pages worth of repeated results.
I have search sor a solution to no end, and have narrowed it down to be a problem with my theme, as it works perfectly on a default wp theme, my theme developer isn’t responding to any request for support unfortunately, is there anyone here who could help me figure this out.
Please.

The bbpress plugin has 4 css files. I’ve inserted that css code into all 4 and the problem remains.
it would work like this though
#bbpress-forums .community .bbp-author-role {
background-color: blue;
}
or
#bbpress-forums .team .bbp-author-role {
background-color: yellow;
}
I just tested on my test site, and I do not really see an issue with the OG tags. Maybe there is something else. You may need to try some troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting
No no, the meta tags work fine, but I don’t need this tags. And when I disable this tags in Yoast plugin, the bbpress Forum will not work. It shows me the blank page.
Try some troubleshooting first if you haven’t already, check your cache(this includes browser cache if the main browser you use is safari).

I use WordPress 4.3 and bbpress 2.5.8. The theme version is Fount 3.6.
Oh I know what you are talking about know. The having to login again threw me off a bit. I think you were logged in, but just didnt redirect to wp-admin. You could of easily from the WordPress Toolbar went to the admin area from there.
When you log into your site you are redirected to the homepage, but you want to be redirected to the dashboard.
There is something in bbPress that might be causing redirecting users to the homepage, like for the bbPress login form.
This can be very easily fixed by installing Peters Login Redirect plugin. Install it, configure who/what roles you want to be redirected to wp-admin.
If you do not need a plugin I think a small function could easily fix the issue also.
Well thing is having meta tags shouldn’t really affect bbPress at all. And I was figuring it may be how something is configured in their plugin that is causing issues.
<meta property="og:title" content="The Rock" />
<meta property="og:type" content="video.movie" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/rock.jpg" />
Or are you saying that the meta tags do not work on bbPress forums, but the bbPress forums work fine??
Hello,
I am trying to get a sidebar to show in BBpress and it won’t appear. The forum main page is located here:
http://aespeakers.com/forums/
Under the “forums” page editor I have tried selecting both “default” and “right sidebar” as templates. I have Custom Sidebars installed which works fine now for other pages and the online store. The issue here is that I cannot get ANY sidebar to show in bbpress even if custom sidebars is disabled.
Page layout is set to have Right Sidebar. In the sidebars section I can select from Main Sidebar or bbPress Sidebar but neither will show in this case. The sidebar also does not show in the archive, individual forums, or topics within the forums.
I am using WP 4.3 running the SmartMag Theme. It seems this should work as it is shown working here.

Of course… sorry, I am forgetting to look at bbpress as a plugin, keep thinking its instead of wp.
You’re all over this Robkk… thanks again! 😉
thanks casiepa. i agree with you on open source, but that is a separate issue. if my comments were taken as slamming bbpress, that was not intended. i am just direct and make my comments based on the results i am getting. i do not have issue with anything else on the site and all other email notifications are working. on the other hand, it is worth noting that i believe i have isolated the problem. i will post here on the details if all tests work out correctly.
Well, to me it’s a strength to have such an open plugin where anybody can build extra blocks to do whatever he wants to obtain… For whatever is not in the core, somebody has probably already written something for it.
Just post on this forum is the issue is about bbpress. If your problem is with an email plugin, better post on the forum on that plugin to be sure to get the correct help.
Pascal.
@TJR3217
Did you get notifications before ? Do you get any standard emails like for new user creation ?
If you don’t get any emails at all, then bbpress is probably not to blame.
Personally I had lot of issues since wp 4.3, but all issues were in the plugins handling smtp emails.
Pascal.
PS. Did you get an email for this ?
OK thanks. So on the public site I should add the bbPress plugin to WP and then use the importer to move all of the existing forum posts and user info, etc to WP? Should I import the old forum first and then change the formatting in WP or do I create a new forum in WP the way I want it to look and then import the data? Or does it make any difference?
Thanks.
Hello,
I am new to bbPress. I have installed bbPress using the Fount theme. When I visit the forum page (http://conceivable.ca/forums/) – the forum will not load using Safari. The website seems to be appearing using Firefox and Chrome. Is the problem the Fount theme?
Thank you.
You want to use a contact form plugin for your forum?? Do you need any specific placement of the forum, like in a forum post or something??
If you have a WordPress site running the bbPress plugin, you should be able to use a contact form plugin like CF7 with no problems.
bbPress was a standalone software for forums in the 0.1 to 1.0 era, now with version 2.0 and on it is a WordPress plugin.
The plugin version also includes an importer for the v1 standalone version that might be helpful.
I have deactive the open graph in Yoast SEO options, and this brought some troubles. My forum bbpress is does not work.
Can you help me please?
I am really confused about how bbPress works…
I have taken over a website from a previous administrator. I replaced the WordPress site completely with a new one I developed. There was already a bbPress forum (a whole separate SQL database), so I just added a menu item to my site that linked to the existing forum directly. http://www.oakridgeoutlaws.org
Now I need to work on customizing the forum. Since I originally developed my new WP site on my own computer using WAMP I thought I would add bbPress there first to play around with it. So, from WordPress, I added the bbPress plug-in and followed the the instructions. I can make a forum show up on a page, but it is not like what is on the public server. On the real website there is a whole other SQL database for the forum. On my local site, there is just a bbpress folder in my plugins folder.
I saw a comment on another thread here that said “bbPress is not a WordPress plug-in. It is a stand-alone software.” What am I missing? What did I download when I added a plugin called bbPress?
Thank you for putting up with a confused newbie.
If your theme gets a breadcrumb, then disable Yoast’s one. You may have two breadcrumb:
First ==> WordPress
Second==> BBPress
You do this:
*/
function tempera_breadcrumbs1() {
$temperas= tempera_get_theme_options();
foreach ($temperas as $key => $value) { ${"$key"} = $value ; }
global $post;
$separator = "<i class='icon-angle-right'></i> ";
if( !is_bbpress()){
if (is_page() && !is_front_page() || is_single() || is_category() || is_archive()) {
echo '<div class="breadcrumbs">';
echo '<a href="'.home_url().'"><i class="icon-homebread"></i></a>'.$separator ;
if (is_page()) {
$ancestors = get_post_ancestors($post);
if ($ancestors) {
$ancestors = array_reverse($ancestors);
foreach ($ancestors as $crumb) {
echo '<a href="'.get_permalink($crumb).'">'.get_the_title($crumb).$separator.'</a>';
}
}
}
if (is_single()) {
if (has_category()) {
$category = get_the_category();
echo '<a href="'.get_category_link($category[0]->cat_ID).'">'.$category[0]->cat_name.$separator.'</a>';
}
}
if (is_category()) {
$category = get_the_category();
echo ''.$category[0]->cat_name.'';
}
if (is_tag()) {
echo ''.__('Tag','tempera').''.$separator.single_tag_title('', false);
}
// Current page
if (is_page() || is_single()) {
echo ''.get_the_title().'';
}
echo '</div>';
}
elseif (is_home() && $tempera_frontpage!="Enable" ) {
// Front page
echo '<div class="breadcrumbs">';
echo '<a href="'.home_url().'"><i class="icon-homebread"></i></a> '.$separator;
_e('Home Page','tempera');
echo '</div>';
}
}
} // tempera_breadcrumbs()
add_action('after_setup_theme','remove_fonction_parent2');
function remove_fonction_parent2() {
remove_action('cryout_before_content_hook','tempera_breadcrumbs');
add_action ('cryout_before_content_hook','tempera_breadcrumbs1');
}

You have to change the information about your theme.
